  1. ilos By the end of this lecture you will be able to : • Recognize different dose response curves • Distinguish the therapeutic utility of each of these curves • Classify different types of antagonism QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF DRUG ACTION By Prof. Omnia Nayel Assoc. Prof. Osama Yousif

  2. DOSE RESPONSE CURVE How does response vary with C? A continuous response BP, HR, FBG, Cholesterol,… GRADED DOSE RESPONSE CURVE An all-or-non response prevention of convulsion, arrhythmias or death….. Relate C to % of patients eliciting the : * specified therapeutic response * adverse response * lethal outcome QUANTAL DOSE RESPONSE CURVE

  3. GRADED DOSE RESPONSE CURVE A continuous response BP, HR, FBG, Cholesterol,…

  4. 100 100 % of Maximal Effect % of Maximal Effect 80 80 60 60 EC50 40 40 20 20 0 0 0 200 400 600 800 1 10 100 1000 Max effect = Emax Effect when all the receptors are occupied by D As C ↑ response increment ↓ [C] [C] C that gives the half-maximal effect EC50 • Graded dose-response curves are used to determine: • The max efficacy (Emax) → highest limit of dose-response relationship on response axis. • The potency = The concentration of drug required to produce a specified response • The smaller the EC50 , the greater the potency of the agonist i.e. the lower C needed to elicit the maximum biological response. • 3. Compare the relative potency and efficacy of drugs that produce the same effect.

  5. GRADED DOSE RESPONSE CURVE EFFICACY B Partial Agonist A > efficacy than B POTENCY A > potent B

  6. GRADED DOSE RESPONSE CURVE X & Z are equal efficacy X & Z > efficacy than Y Y > potent but < efficacious than Z X > potent than Y & Z Y> potent than Z

  7. QANTAL DOSE RESPONSE CURVE All-non responses % subjects responding Dose-frequency relationship

  8. 1 10 100 1000 QANTAL DOSE RESPONSE CURVE: used to determine 100 Lethal Effect Toxic Effect 80 Therapeutic Effect 60 Predict the safety profile % subjects responding 40 TD50 20 ED50 [Dose] 0 1. Median Effective Dose 2.Median toxic dose 3. Median lethal dose 1. 50% of individuals exhibit the specified therapeutic response TD50 ED50 LD50 2. “ “ “ toxic effects 3. “ “ “ death The relation between dose to induce a desired effect versus that producing the unwanted effect. Therapeutic Index When low → the drug has a narrow margin of safety →digoxin When high → the drug has a safe profile → diazepam

  9. It is the diminution or the complete abolishment of the effect of one drug in the presence of another. ANTAGONISM Types Two drugs react chemically resulting in loss of activity of active drug. 1. Chemical Dimercaprol reduces heavy metal toxicity [ lead] Two drugs possess opposing actions in body, so tend to cancel each other’s effect. 2.Physiological Omeprozole & histamine The antagonist effectively reduces the concentration of the active drug at the site of action 3. Pharmacokinetic Phenobarbitone accelerates hepatic metabolism warfarin 4. Receptor Blockade (Competitive ) Reversible Irreversible 5. Non-Competitive

  10. Antagonist block at some point the chain of events that ignite the response of agonist ANTAGONISM Non-Competitive Receptor Blockade (Competitive) Agonist and Antagonist can be bound simultaneously Antagonist prevents binding of agonist to the receptor at the same binding site ( = competes with it at same occupancy site ) Agonist and Antagonistcompete ( only one is bound) Reversible Irreversible

  11. COMPETATIVE ANTAGONISM Antagonist readily dissociate from binding site of agonist to the receptor Antagonism can be overcomed by increasing concentration of agonist = Surmountable Atropine vs Ach Reversible Antagonist form stable, permanent / near permanent chemical bond with receptor. Irreversible Inactivation lasts for duration of receptor turnover or its de- novo synthesis → explains its longevity of action Phenoxybenzamine & Noradrenaline

  12. Competitive Antagonism Reversible Parallel shift to the right, without any change in slope or maximum Irreversible No parallel shift But both a decrease in slope and a reduced maximum are obtained.

  13. Competitive vsNoncompetative Antagonism 100 80 60 40 20 0 1 10 100 1000 Antagonism can be overcomed by increasing concentration of agonist = SURMOUNTABLE % of Maximal Effect Agonist +reversible competitive antagonist Agonist Agonist +irreversible competitive antagonist Agonist +non-competitive antagonist Depression of maximal response +/- rightward shifts ( if some R are spare ) Verapamil vs noradrenaline [C] Antagonism cannot be overcomed by increasing concentration of agonist = NON-SURMOUNTABLE

  14. Quiz? • Concentration-binding-curves are used to detect: • A) highest limit of dose-response relationship B) concentration of drug required to produce a specified response C) affinity of a drug for its receptor D) therapeutic index of a drug

  15. Quiz? • Drug A has a smaller EC50 than drug B. This means that drug B is: • A) more potent than AB) less potent than AC) more efficacious than AD) less efficacious than A

  16. Quiz? • An example of a reversible competitive antagonist is: • A) phenoxybenzamine to noradrenaline.B) omeprazole to histamineC) dimercaprol to leadD) atropine to acetylcholine

  17. Quiz? • Antagonism can be overcomed by increasing concentration of agonist in: • A) irreversible competitive antagonism.B) non-competitive antagonism C) reversible competitive antagonism D) pharmacokinetic antagonism
